The files in the lists/listname/ directory need to be Mailman's group -
'list' in your case. The lists/listname directories need to be SETGID
- i.e. mode 2775, not 0775.

sudo /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms -f

(if I have the path right) should fix all of this.

Two more questions.

QUESTION ONE:  Checkperms doesn't change the group owner on the symlinks
under /var/lib/mailman (I get the message below no matter how many times
I run checkperms -f). 

 Should I chgrp -h on those symlinks?

QUESTION TWO:

Postfix is not starting (see below).  

How can I fix this?
